Out of the blue, we started to experience a number of problems with
fetching external content on our type-html gadgets that have been
working OK in production for the last 6+ months. Issue is specific to
iGoogle v2, everything seems to be fine on other google domains where
v2 is still not introduced. We have the issue both in the Sandbox and
google.com in production
We fetch external content with _IG_FetchContent from remote pages
where the remote page's charset declaration is "windows-1254". The
code we use is as follows:
'Fetch External Content
<script>
function fetchURL() {
var url = "http://www.example.com/page.php";;
_IG_FetchContent(url, function(responseText) {
_gel('content_div').innerHTML = responseText;
}, { refreshInterval: (60 * 3) });
}
<script>
'Show External Content
<div id="content_div"></div>
The gadget used to be able to fetch and display all content in proper
encoding. Meanining, the gadget was looking exactly the way that the
page.php was looking when viewed stand-one on a browser.
However, now the gadgets do not seem to honor the encoding set for the
remote page.php and display content in their raw, ascii form (e.g.
while the page.php's character set is set to display "þ" as "ş", the
gadget now displays "þ").
Adding "<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;
charset=windows-1254">" to the gadget itself doesn't seem to help.
No recent changes on our part and this issue effects all of our
gadgets so wondering if something else is going on with the API
Happy to post a link for one of the affected xml's if that helps.
Thanks
